Areas of Interest

"Approval for the new Lost In Space series was largely reported in the positive. The Musings Of A Sci-Fi Fanatic final analysis remains in the making.

Of the few criticisms I've read some complained the Robinsons were too often in peril. That's an odd criticism for a family lost in space. How is this new series different than the original series in that way…"Main pagescifimusings.blogspot.com.ar

Ive been watching it this week and I really enjoy it. I like the cast, the characters, the planet often looks alien though there are a few logic issues (they mention the temp is 60 degrees below zero yet it starts raining?), but overall I would recommend it to sci fi fans.

I couldn't even finish episode one. I am tired of "the dad is an idiot, the mom is always right, and dad is terrible because the Marines sent him off somewhere" cliches. From the limited amount I saw it WAS better than the movie.

Will has to be weak otherwise Dr. Smith can't manipulate him. That is a given.

I can understand the hate towards Mr. Robinson in the beginning, and it does improve as the show goes on. I hope it is done with in the new season.

but making Don West a self serving Han Solo type, the "stupid decision making" Governor even though he was completely correct in what he was ordering in a certain episode, and the "Only thinks of his family first" love interest.

You only have the one Scientist guy who gets his entire family involved (which are also ALL WOMEN, BTW) as your positive Male role model character.

With me it's not the gender threat issue, as some have tried to imply on other threads*. My issue is more a chain of command issue.

From the old series and the film, I was always under the impression the father was in command. Then again I didn't continue watching the new series to discover anything that would have told me something different. Or maybe that change should have been established early on?

Dan* These days some people tend to rush to that conclusion whenever someone makes any observation about character and role changes in remakes.
